B4 Understand how the US involvement in the war eventually led to the request by Germany for an armistice.
The U.S. cut off Germany's supplies by blockading the country's ports, which in turn caused major shortages and big problems throughout the country. Also, the U.S. pushed the German army out of France and back into it's own territory, making it harder for reinforcements to reach Germany, which was losing ground fast.
